The U.S. has made considerable investments in setting up biometrics-based security solutions at its borders and airports through its customs and border protection (CBP), a government agency to monitor the influx of immigrants and tourists. The United States citizenship and immigration services have made e-visa and e-passport mandatory for new applicants.

All these developments have led to the growth of the biometric system market in North America.
